If you are asking yourself if you should install an aftermarket performance exhaust or if they are worth the cost maybe we can help allay your fears in that respect. First of all, headers are undoubtedly one of the simplest changes you can make that will generate an improvement in the way your engine performs because they are primarily a bolt-on application. They function by making it simpler for your engine to work exhaust gases out of the cylinders and they accomplish this by affording each cylinder with its individual exhaust pipe of equal lengths resulting in each cylinder’s exhaust gas being given the opportunity of arriving in the collector evenly with an absence of back pressure and consequently improving your engine’s power. If you are considering headers then take the time to peruse the LMPERFORMANCE web site and learn about the headers from the inimitable AMERICAN RACING HEADERS, a company that has been in the business of making headers since 2005 and with the goat of making a header that would be well received and problem free. Their customer base has grown and they are now a world renowned supplier of distinctive headers and cat-backs who in 2014 they were the first manufacturer in the performance industry to receive four separate Made in the USA certifications.

American Racing Headers

Ordering parts for your vehicle can be a complex matter with all the terminology on the street and mixed information. Getting the right size, length, application, fitment and part number all take some research to make certain they fit your vehicle. With exhaust systems some terms have become fairly well known.

Cat-back Exhaust

A system that connects after the catalytic converter(s) usually consisting of mid-pipes, tailpipes, mufflers, and tips.

Axleback Exhaust

A system that connects back of the vehicle’s rear axle. Usually found in front of or rear of the axle depending on your vehicle.

American Racing Headers Full system

These systems extends from the cylinder head(s) to the rear axle of the vehicle allowing you to finish the system with an American Racing Headers Pure Thunder Axleback kit that include ARH mufflers and tips. This is a front to back Full exhaust replacement.

American Racing Headers Long System

These systems include the ARH Long Tube Headers, Cat or Off-Road connection pipes leading to mid-point tubing, commonly ending before the Axle section of your vehicle. These systems commonly include mid-pipes such as X-Pipes and H-Pipes.

American Racing Headers Short System

These systems include the American Racing Long Tube Headers, Cat or Off-Road connection pipes that lead into an aftermarket or OEM mid-pipe exhaust system such as that on the Gen 5 Camaro 2010+.

NASCAR Merge Collector

Something you can’t find anywhere else, The American Racing Headers ARH Merge collector design is part of every ARH header and increases the velocity of the exhaust flow as it exits the header collector and flows into the mid-section of the exhaust system.

Scavenger Spike

At the core of the ARH NASCAR Merge Collector is the American Racing Headers designed Scavenger Spike, which directs exhaust flow through the collector. Carefully designed to increase flow by separating flow tube merge more smoothly thereby reducing turbulence and increase smooth flow exit of exhaust.

By: 5.0 CoyoteOwnership: 1 month - 1 yearPerformance and looks is great. The package comes with everything you will need. However, the X pipe fitment leaves something to be desired. The X pipe fits in such a way that it dips or hangs lower than the rest of the exhaust. My local exhaust shop tried flipping it every way concievable and at best it hangs. Since my car is lowered it scrubs on everything. Looks like I will toss it out and build a custom X pipe.

By: SSS ManOwnership: 1 day - 1 weekThey got them to me very fast and witb no problems what so ever. Did the installation my self and it was super easy to do. They are built exactly right for the vehical you choose. It makes the sound much deeper and more gutsy, plus the added MPG is great.

By: mrray13Ownership: 1 day - 1 weekWow, the quality, fit and finish of these headers is outstanding! I had JBA shorties on the car and had a best dyno of 253 rwhp and 239lb-ft of torque,+5rwhp and +8rwtq over baseline. The ARH headers/cats bolt on was another 10rwhp and 10lb-ft of torque! That's 15 plus over baseline in hp and 18 plus in torque! Not too bad, not too bad at all! These are quality parts by quality people! These are easier to install then the shorties too!

BMW

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your BMW

If you own a BMW, the luxury German car, then we know you appreciate the finer things in life and want top quality performance out of your car and we want to help you do that with the prestigious array of performance parts available on our web site. Parts like those from the
inimitable SPEC Clutch line with Clutch Kits from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the Mini Twin and in the SPEC Super Twin for the M6, M5 and M3. We know you don’t want a cookie cutter clutch but one that satisfies your driving needs and the stage selection of the SPEC clutch is determined primarily by use, rather it be for street use or more high performance use such as racing or autocross. and by materials used to manufacture the various clutches such as molded carbon KEVLAR, full faced Kevlar with steel backing, carbon semi-metallic on one side, carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung or not sprung, carbon semi-metallic with a double sprung hub, solid hub with 8 rivets or full-metallic disc- all decided by you, the driver. The pressure plate in your BMW is the driving force between your engine's power and the drive line and if you are doing intense driving you need a performance pressure plate like the one from SPEC for increased holding power. Another great product from SPEC, the billet flywheel exceeds the industry standard of .010 tolerances by a considerable amount with the .001 tolerance guaranteeing ideal balance and flat bedding and can be rebuilt and have a replaceable steel friction plate and they are a lightweight alternative to your factory flywheel.

Several estimable exhaust kit options are available for your BMW and one such brand is CORSA Performance, a renowned manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhausts. CORSA Performance features straight unrestricted flow mufflers and are available depending on application in 3 different sound levels to suit your taste. For example, CORSA'S BMW M3 exhaust system features a patented non-restrictive straight-through design resulting in the reduction of back pressure and freeing up much needed power all resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Since there is no drone because of CORSA’S own RSC Reflective Sound Cancellation technology, you never need to worry about the that annoyance just expect great sound.

Another very popular choice by BMW enthusiasts are the B&B (Billy Boat) exhausts which are made right here in the U.S. in Arizona. They feature 304 mandrel bent Stainless steel and come in several muffler styles such as the Bullets, PRT, and Fusion. B&B tunes each muffler to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Billy Boat recently started to incorporate the PRT technology into all of their muffler systems. PRT Technology allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speed thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. The use of two distinct packing materials and several S.C.C.’S inside the BILLY BOAT muffler enable them to create a harmonious sound that will have heads turning when you drive by.
